Currently, when the window is minimized the content is lost. The content area is detached from the DOM and re-initialized when it is shown again.

<AdminEdit>

Workaround:

You can workaround that issue by creating custom minimize and maximize actions for the window, where you hide the content area with CSS.

Code snippet:

<TelerikWindow Class="@( isMinimized ? "minimize-window" : "maximize-window" )"
               Width="500px"
               Height="@Height"
               Top="40%"
               Left="45%"
               Visible="true">
    <WindowTitle>
        <strong>Status</strong>
    </WindowTitle>
    <WindowActions>
        <WindowAction Name="MyCustomMinimize" OnClick="@CustomMinimize" Icon="@IconName.WindowMinimize"></WindowAction>
        @if (isMinimized)
        {
            <WindowAction Name="MyCustomMaximize" OnClick="@CustomMaximize" Icon="@IconName.Window"></WindowAction>
        }
        <WindowAction Name="Close"></WindowAction>
    </WindowActions>
    <WindowContent>
        <form class="k-form">
            <fieldset class="k-form-fieldset">
                <legend class="k-form-legend">User Details</legend>

                <label class="k-form-field">
                    <span>First Name</span>
                    <input class="k-textbox" placeholder="Your Name" />
                </label>
                <label class="k-form-field">
                    <span>Last Name</span>
                    <input class="k-textbox" placeholder="Your Last Name" />
                </label>
            </fieldset>
        </form>
    </WindowContent>
</TelerikWindow>

@code {
    public bool isMinimized { get; set; }

    public string Height { get; set; } = "350px";

    private void CustomMinimize()
    {
        isMinimized = true;
        Height = "auto";
    }

    private void CustomMaximize()
    {
        isMinimized = false;
        Height = "350px";
    }

}

<style>
    .minimize-window .k-content {
        display: none;
        padding: 0px !important;
    }

    .maximize-window .k-content {
        display: block;
        padding: 16px 16px;
    }
</style>

Can we please have an [Open] or [Init] or [OnVisible] event exposed for Blazor Windows?

There is a whole bunch of stuff that I need to do in a Window (e.g. custom modal editing form that needs a lot of temporary supporting data structures) and I am having to do the work in a method that that opens the window, before the Window is opened and passing many data structures to the Window as parameters (there could be more than 20 of these). This is messy.

It would be much simpler, neater and efficient to have the Window create these resources on the fly when the Window is made visible and to dispose of them when the window closes. I would then only need to pass a few essential parameters.

I'm guessing this is a new feature request because I cannot see any way of detecting, in the code for a Window, that it has just been opened (or am I missing something?).

Kind regards,

Paul

At the moment this is not guaranteed and if you want to customize the behavior you should use a custom action to get the OnClick handler, and control the window through its parameters.

Here is an example of implementing a custom close button that also fires an event:

<TelerikWindow Visible="@IsWindowVisible" Modal="true" Centered="true">
    <WindowTitle>WindowTitle</WindowTitle>
    <WindowContent>
        lorem ipsum
    </WindowContent>
    <WindowActions>
        <WindowAction Name="MyCustomAction" Icon="close" OnClick="@HandleCancel" />
    </WindowActions>
</TelerikWindow>

@code{
    bool IsWindowVisible { get; set; } = true;

    async Task HandleCancel()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("my custom click happened");
        IsWindowVisible = false;//hide the window with your own code if you also want to do that
    }
}

When a Window is declared inside the Content of another Window, the child Window is resized twice the dragged size.

Reproduction: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/wwahOtEt49vtoFbZ39.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the child Window
2. Resize the child Window

The behavior occurs when the child Window contains a component. However, it is not applicable for all components. For example, placing a TextBox or simple text in the child Window does not seem to cause an issue.

I'm working on blazor server side application.
After update Telerik.UI.for.Blazor from 2.1 to 2.5 (before I updated .net core from 3.0 to 3.1) it shows following error:
InvalidOperationException: The current thread is not associated with the Dispatcher. Use InvokeAsync() to switch execution to the Dispatcher when triggering rendering or component state.

I investigated that it's cause by Telerik window.
The error occurs when window is on start page or when the page is refreshed.
Below code for Index.razor which cause the error:

Login Component:

A) Login dialog  - A popup dialog where we can attach a model to the dialog.

B) Login with register button - Where we can provide the register page or register popup to call

C) Login with Forgot password and rest password

D) Login with default

The Window can display as centered, but after the user moves or resizes it, the app is not able to center the Window programmatically.

The only possible workaround is to toggle the Window's Visible parameter:

https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/weaewmFe32oT4rnQ42

<TelerikWindow @bind-Top="@Top" @bind-Left="@Left" Centered="@Centered" @bind-Visible="@Visible">
    <WindowTitle>
        Title
    </WindowTitle>
    <WindowContent>
        Drag or resize the Window and center it afterwards...
    </WindowContent>
</TelerikWindow>

<TelerikButton OnClick="@( () => Visible = !Visible )">Toggle Window</TelerikButton>
<TelerikButton OnClick="@OnCenterClick">Center</TelerikButton>

@code {
    string Top { get; set; }
    string Left { get; set; }
    bool Centered = false;
    bool Visible { get; set; } = true;

    async Task OnCenterClick()
    {
        Visible = false;
        await Task.Delay(1);

        Top = Left = string.Empty;
        Visible = true;
    }
}

Seems to be a bug in the 4.0.1 release that causing a resizing event to fire as a window is closed - this means that you have to close the window twice.

This appears when the text exceeds the width of the pop up causing it to wrap. In the attached example, the yellow highlighted text is too long for the window. Shorter texts that don't wrap don't seem to cause the issue.

This bug is repeatable in your demo code:

The page scrolls instead of the window component moving.

You can drag it a few pixels at a time at most.

EDIT:

A workaround could be to disable touch events for dragging (which may also help for other components like the Splitter):

<TelerikWindow Visible="true" Class="workaround-for-touch-drag">
    <WindowTitle>the title</WindowTitle>
    <WindowContent>the content</WindowContent>
</TelerikWindow>

<style>
    .workaround-for-touch-drag {
        touch-action: none;
    }
</style>

Whenever i refresh a page with F5 i get the following error:

System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot process pending renders after the renderer has been disposed.
Object name: 'Renderer'.
   at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.RenderTree.Renderer.ProcessPendingRender()
   at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.RenderTree.Renderer.AddToRenderQueue(Int32 componentId, RenderFragment renderFragment)

   at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---
   at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Rendering.RendererSynchronizationContext.ExecuteBackground(WorkItem item)

Application is working normally after an error. Am i doing something wrong?

I have the following code that simulates a "wizard" type experience to show my issue with the window actions disappearing.  Step 1 just shows text and Step 2 has a modal window that pops up when the button in that step is clicked. If I go to another step and then back to Step 2 -- then when I click the show pop up button : the modal window pops up but the "window actions" disappear. There is then no way to close the window.

I can move the Telerik Window control out of the conditional and it will work but this is a simplified version of my problem since I have these windows inside child components so I cannot easily do that. I thought about hiding the "steps" with css but I believe that will keep more things around in the DOM which I don't want. I added the "@ref" also to see if that would help but it doesn't make a difference.

Example:

@if (Step == 1)

{
    <div>Step 1</div>
}
else if (Step == 2)
{
<div>Step 2</div>
    <input type="button" @onclick="() => { IsPopupVisible = true; }" class="btn btn-primary" value="show pop up" />
    <br />
    <br />

        <TelerikWindow @ref="win1" @bind-Visible="@IsPopupVisible" Height="500px" Modal="true">
            <WindowTitle>
                <strong>Pricing Term - Configure</strong>
            </WindowTitle>
            <WindowContent>
                <div>
                    stuff goes here
                </div>
            </WindowContent>
            <WindowActions>
                <WindowAction Hidden="false" Name="Minimize"></WindowAction>
                <WindowAction Hidden="false" Name="Maximize"></WindowAction>
                <WindowAction Hidden="false" Name="Close"></WindowAction>
            </WindowActions>
        </TelerikWindow>
  
}
else if (Step == 3)
{
    <div>Step 3</div>
}
<div class="row">
    <div class="col-12">
        <div>
            @if (Step > 1)
            {
                <input type="button" @onclick="() => MoveStep(-1)" class="btn btn-primary" value="<< Go Back" />
            }
            @if (Step < 3)
            {
                <input type="button" @onclick="() => MoveStep(1)" class="btn btn-primary" value="Continue >>" />
            }
        </div>
        <div></div>
    </div>
</div>


@code {
    public TelerikWindow win1 { get; set; }
    public bool IsPopupVisible { get; set; }

    public int Step { get; set; } = 1;

    public void MoveStep(int move)
    {
